Quick update on Brandon -

He's HOME!!!!   YAY!!!!!  He went home on Monday - can't lift anything heavy, work or drive for 4 weeks when he goes back to the Dr.

I'm so happy he came around.  I was so worried about him!  Our prayers were answered, PTL!

In the next couple of day, though, another SIL (Megan's hubby) is leaving for Iraq.  He's to be gone at least a year, so please  keep them in your prayers.  It will be a difficult year for Megan and McKenna, but I'm hoping it goes quickly for them.

Friday update on Brandon 12/18/09

 Kate posted on FB ab out 4:45pm today: he's back on the breathing tube, but his lung is slowly getting better! Things are looking up and maybe in four or five days we'll be out of ICU. Then, we'll be transferred somewhere else to tackle the next obstacle.


I chatted with her a little - she said his oxygen level is at 100. heart rate down to 86 instead of 124. and respitory rate down to 18 instead of 40!  MUCH better than yesterday.

She said she has plenty of company this weekend, so we'll stay home so I can get ready for our Christmas Celebration with Tab & Sam on Sunday.  Not sure if we'll be able to stop on our way to or from Nebraska, but at least she's only a couple hours away, we can make it there and home in one day.

We appreciate all the prayers!!!
